Ivory Lace Babydoll Dress

Since I laid eyes on this beautiful flowy lace dress I fell in laaahhhhvveee. The lace, the elegance, just everything about this dress moved me. With my imagination I decided to replicate this amazing lace dress with a little twist of my own.



The lace fabric I used was from a window curtain I found for $2. Yes. A window curtain. I'm addicted to recycling things as you can tell. Anyway, the lace is a little different than the lace of the dress in the picture I found so I had to wear a sweetheart tank underneath to prevent showing any undergarments. Haha. I couldn't convince myself to be so daring for fashion just yet.

Unfortunately this is not a tutorial. My mannequin helped me tremendously in making this lace dress. This was the first time I made sleeves for a dress and I am so proud that I successfully executed the difficult task.



One of my favorite part of this dress is the exposed zipper back. Also a first time for this as well. I love the look of it-- makes the dress more edgy.





So here's just a few photos of how my ivory lace babydoll dress looks. I wore my coral rhinestone bordered earrings and nude heels. I kept it simple and elegant.


 









I adore this dress! It's cute and fun with such pretty elegance. One of my most favorite dresses I've made thus far. :)

    Gone with the wind has nothing on you. Scarlet could never wear a curtain as well as you do

    Quick question... Did you use any interfacing? Sewing lace seems hard but I have a ton of leftover lace.
